    Trump’s party still believe the courts should generally be able to check the power of U.S. presidents, but that many Republicans would support Trump defying a court order in order to deport people seen as a threat.

    so, 76% of republicans reject the idea of due process. noted.

      I watched a lady who studies dictators on a Wired video recently and she said about 30% of the population believes in dictatorship as an effective way to govern. She explained it as people who are generally dictatorial in their life. My way or the highway type people. Tyrannical microcontrollers. Helicopter parents, etc. These people seem pretty common in my experience so it made sense. And considering about 30% of the population voted for Trump and 30% voted for Harris and the rest didn’t vote it makes even more sense.
